[bold pewter]

all for crazy stairs

[civic parcel]

oh I loved this game haha

[bold pewter]

no way a crazy stairs fan

If anyone plays it, let me know of any balance suggestion

[waxen flax]

what does the "can be used while morphed into ___" mean?

[bold pewter]

It's something that will be added at a later time

But if it works out, I'll make the aligned Jokers be usable only if you have a specific alignment

-# excluding chameleon, which will be able to use all of them plus its own

[waxen flax]

ah

sounds cool

Bend Down is now a Voucher with its own upgraded version

https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/Baladrone/Vouchers

[next plaza]

@bold pewter why dependency is exactly lovely 0.6.0?

[bold pewter]

I haven't checked the new lovely version yet

[atomic acorn]

The new lovely version is good as is, have been running it for a while now with few issues, and most mods that are on 0.6.0 can comfortably use 0.7.1 anyways.

[bold pewter]

I had someone experience a crash a few days ago and the cause was the new version sadly

[atomic acorn]

Oh.

[bold pewter]

I'll finish adding the alignments then I'll look into it

[bold pewter]

something I've been working on

[raw robin]

Ooh

[bold pewter]

Added Alignment cards
https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

Nerfs to Link

[bold pewter]

https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

Changing Alignment no longer destroys other aligned Jokers in possession

Added JokerDisplay support for Card Thief

https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

Fixed crash when using Planets

[bold pewter]

New Joker aligned Jonkler added!
||Disco (Uncommon)
Disables Boss Blind if all cards in scoring hand have an edition||

Update here
Wiki page

(WIP 22/?) Baladrone - A Crazy Stairs mod [Roblox]

[bold pewter]

https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

Changes to Disco

1. At least 2 cards required (No High Card)
2. Cards must have different editions

[raw robin]

so do alignments provide buffs? or do they just. make it so you can use their aligned jokers

[bold pewter]

Alignments will provide buffs (I havent fully implemented it yet)

As of recently, aligned jokers dont self destruct when you change alignment anymore so you can mix and match, but you still need the original alignment to find it in the shop

For example you can only steal cards with Thief alignment

also

https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

Added the 2 missing booster packs

[bold pewter]

New Patron aligned Jonkler added!

This is the most complicated Joker I made yet 🥺

||Call the Orb (Legendary)

the next Boss Blind||

Concept by: @sleek flint

Update here

[pastel moth]

that's actually insane how much work went into that lol

[bold pewter]

patron should be thankful 😆

(WIP 23/?) Baladrone - A Crazy Stairs mod [Roblox]

[bold pewter]

https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

1. Call the Orb no longer draws called card when opening packs

2. Added conflict with Maximus and Reverie

[humble olive]

The mod doesn't work for me; It's complaining about something to do with steam modded

[bold pewter]

thats not good, can you send the crash log?

[humble olive]

This is all I see; is my steamodded outdated?

[bold pewter]

that's correct, you need to update SMODS (and Lovely to 0.7.1 as well if you havent already)

[humble olive]

How do I do that; the SMODS page on GitHub doesn’t have anything past 0.98

[bold pewter]

smods doesnt have an official relase as of now, you need to dowload from the main like this

[humble olive]

I did that but now Cryptid doesn’t work

[bold pewter]

tldr: Baladrone and Cryptid can't be used together unless Cryptid gets updated

what happened here is that there are 2 versions of SMODS, old-calc and new-calc(most recent one)

my mod is on new-calc (as are most recent Mods out there) while Cryptid is still using old-calc (and therefore isnt compatible with new-calc)

[humble olive]

Aww that sucks :/

[bold pewter]

New Wicked aligned Tarot card added!

||Destroys 1 selected Joker and gain its original value in dollars
(Ignores card's properties)||

Update here
Wiki page

[pastel moth]

Destroying eternal jokers, rip 💔

[bold pewter]

think of it like cursed stairs

[bold pewter]

https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

Improvements to Call the Orb

[bold pewter]

After opening an Alignment Pack, you'll receive a random aligned Joker for that Alignment (There's a chance for a legendary Joker to spawn as well)

Since not all rarities have a Joker, sometimes it might spawn a normal Joker

https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

[bold pewter]

Chameleon also gives a random aligned Joker

https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

[deep cobalt]

We got crazy stairs in Balatro before gta 6

[bold pewter]

Due to the changes above, Boosters price has been increased from 2 to 5

https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

[bold pewter]

https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

made a mistake with dependencies

[bold pewter]

https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

Fixed the following:

1. Incorrect Undiscovered sprites for Alignments (in collection)

2. Every Joker becoming Jimbo after getting the fallback when morphing into an Alignment

[bold pewter]

https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

Fixed crash with the Joker "Creator"

[bold pewter]

https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

Added Splicer, Necromancer, Gremlin and Reaver (With no Joker, yet)

Removed self destruct condition from Dual Hands

[bold pewter]

https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

Changed Dual Hands to play in a context before Link

[bold pewter]

I've added some achievements

Update here
Wiki

[bold pewter]

Changes:

1) "Beat a stake with X alignment" now requires to keep the first alignment thorough the run (no last shop switching)

Fixes:

**1) **Morphing to Chameleon would unlock the "Morph to X" achievement for every alignment

2) Point 1 but for beating a stake

||Flip Right (Common)
When not in a Blind,
flips over the Joker to the right for **2 Mana **
X3 Mult if the other Jokers are all flipped over
(MANA: 10/10)||

In addition, it's been fixed the crash when loading a savestate through DebugPlus

Update here
Wiki page

(WIP 25/?) Baladrone - A Crazy Stairs mod [Roblox]

[bold pewter]

Nerf to Flip Right:

Cannot flip cards during a Blind

https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

[bold pewter]

Fixed X3 Mult when it was the only Joker held

https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

[bold pewter]

Changes to Restoration

||* It works like Flip Right now and uses Mana to apply its effects

• It has a button you can click anytime to activate its effect

• It counts played cards instead of scored cards

• By default it has 10 max Mana

• It costs 1 Mana per card to restore, even for the self-restore (so it doesn't self-restore itself if it doesn't have Mana)

• It requires 23 cards to activate its effect instead of 10||

-# Took me forever because hand levels kept resetting until I realised they coudln't go below 0, but with this Joker now they can!

(WIP 28/?) Baladrone - A Crazy Stairs mod [Roblox]

[bronze obsidian]

Can we get a thief card that stores card changes (enhancement, edition, etc.) that then can be added to another card?

[bold pewter]

sounds like a nice idea

[bronze obsidian]

Flip right crashes game when an ankh is used on it, the reason the log gave me was “stack overflow”

[bold pewter]

uh-huh

[bold pewter]

are you able to replicate it?

[bronze obsidian]

I’ll see if I can get the crash log, I can’t replicate it rn

[bold pewter]

Ok I found out it happens when it's duplicated after using mana

[bronze obsidian]

That makes sense

[bold pewter]

ty for letting me know, I'll patch it

[bronze obsidian]

Also whenever a blind ends it makes all jokers face up, which makes the joker feel weird to use

[bold pewter]

yeah that's vanilla balatro doing that, I decided to keep it in exchange for keeping the Joker common

[bronze obsidian]

Gotcha

[bold pewter]

It's more complicated than I thought :L it'll take a bit longer

[timber sigil]

THERE IS A CRAZY STAIRS MOD?

[bold pewter]

most certainly

[timber sigil]

isnt broken drone kinda bad to have?

and im in love with all the other stuff, beautiful ideas

[timber sigil]

Well, as a reaver lover kinda guy, i wanna recommend some stuff

Reaver merge

if all the cards in the played hand are the same rank, earn 0.1x mult for each card once per blind.

Giant mirror

if there is 2 or more same ranked cards held in hand when the hand is played, destroy them and earn 2/3$ for each card destroyed.

Mirrored Stairs

if 2 or more cards are destroyed at the same time (glass/immolate/hanged man) earn 2x cards chips each card destroyed, (bonus chips count too) copy the cards and draw them to the bottom of the deck.

lmk if they dont make sense or anythin!!

and i think something like mirrored stairs should be in game because its hiker/hierophant synergy and both are usually not used at all

[bold pewter]

Mirrored Stairs sounds like infinite recycling

[timber sigil]

drawing them to the bottom kinda nerfs it no?

if not then that part might be removed

[bold pewter]

It works better with eternal copies but otherwise it's probably on the weaker side

But I don't feel like changing it due to the reference

Thanks for the feedbacks and suggestions 🙏🏽

[timber sigil]

yw, thanks for the attention and im hoping to see some reaver stuff soon!! gl on developing

[bold pewter]

It's probably due time I gave the forgotten alignments some attention 😆

...just after the new wicked joker

[timber sigil]

hey he isnt forgotten!!

[timber sigil]

lol its wicked all over the place

[bold pewter]

In this mod a least

[bold pewter]

New Wicked aligned Jonkler and new Rarity!
||Imperator (Ultimate)
If played hand scores less than required chips, remove that amount from required chips in exchange for a random Joker||
-# ... Just do not flip it

||Ultimate Jokers are rarer than Rare Jokers.||

Also, fixed Stack Overflow when duplicating Flip Right or Restoration

Update here

(WIP 29/?) Baladrone - A Crazy Stairs mod [Roblox]

[bronze obsidian]

Okay, 2 ideas.

1. Muggle should increase the values of all obtained jokers by 1.5x (referencing how in vanilla crazy stairs muggle can boost your base stats like jump hight)
2. I think I would be neat to have rankings similar to crazy stairs, which could (if not too hard to code) increase or unlock a passive while you have a certain alignment. You could also work #1 into this

Also sick update

[bold pewter]

I like idea 1

And for the second one, thats the plan 👌🏽

For now only Thief has an ability (creating stash area) and in the future it will be possible to upgrade it

Altho, I'm debating whether to upgrade Alignments by winning stakes and make the improvements permanent across all plays or to have Alignments upgrade by triggering their aligned jokers a specific amount of times but it will be within specific runs

[bronze obsidian]

Oh, neat! But just for QOL, you should make a slider or something to adjust the rank of an alignment in the mod config

[bold pewter]

If I end up making it permanent I might let you decrease it (but not increase)

[bold pewter]

New Reaver aligned Jonkler!
||
Reaver Merge (Common)
**Hands ** and Discards are
always subtracted together
X2 Mult||

Fixed Broken Drone not working when being copied

I'm keeping Kay's idea for a different Reaver Joker btw

Update here

(WIP 30/?) Baladrone - A Crazy Stairs mod [Roblox]

[bold pewter]

Fixed Reaver Merge also increasing values for both hands and discards

Update here

[timber sigil]

YAYYYYYY REAVER GOES BRRRRRRRRRRR (kinda didnt like the idea but i love burglar finally getting a use besides endless!)

[bold pewter]

it synergises with every joker that discourages using discards

[bold pewter]

Something something
